To aZZwho m it mag/concern: 7

Be it known that I, J LIn's J. Sonnsnnr, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Paul, in the county of Ramsey and State, of

lllinnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hinges for Sashes. Another ob ect ofmy 111VQI11310I111S1G0P1'Q1 ride means for positively positioning the.

window with respect to the frame when pan tially opened.

With these and incidental objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features of construction and combination of parts, the essential elements of which are hereinafter described with reference to the drawing which accompanies and forms a part of this specification.

In the drawing Figure 1 is an isometric view of a portion of a window and frame showing my invention applied thereto.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a window hinged at the top having my improved construction applied thereto.

Fig. 3 is a view of a portion of my improved construction from the direction indicated by the arrow A, Fig. 2, and Fig. i is a View taken in the direction of the arrow B, Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is a side elevation of a portion of a window hinged at the bottom, showing my improved construction, and Fig. 6 is a section taken on the line C C, Fig. 5.

Where the sash swings from the top instead of from one side, I modify my construction, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, in which 16 is a vertical member of the window frame, and 17 is a quadrant carried thereon by suitable screws 18. Carried in the horizontal member 19 of the quadrant is a spring 20 normally pressing downward at the end 21.

The side of the sash registering with the quadrant carries thereon a plate 22, Fig. 3,

having lips 23 and 24: formed thereon, the lips having notches 26 and 25, respectively, which register with the quadrant, and the upper lip 24 having a notch 27 in which the end 21 of the spring 20 rides.

It is evident that with the other side of the sash supported in a similar manner the sash can be pushed upwardly against the pressure of the spring 20, lifting the lip 23 from that notch 28 of the quadrant in which it happens to rest and swung to any desired position and placed in one of the other notches 28.

To remove the sash from the frame, it is only necessary to swing itabove a horizontal position, so the lip 23 has passed the lip carried by the horizontal part of the quadrant: and pull the entire sash upwardly and outwardly.

Where thesash is hinged at the bottom, thequadrant 30 is applied to the window frame 31 and a strip 32 fastened to each side of the sash, as shown in Fig. 5.

The strip 32 has lips 33 and 3% formed thereon, the lip 34 registering with the notches 35 in the quadrant and the lip 33 riding in the notch 36 in the corner of the quadrant frame.

It is evident that with the sash thus supported on both sides it may be positioned at any desired angle by pulling the sash forwardly, raising or lowering it and allowing the lip 34; to seat in the desired notch. The lip 38 limits this forward motion except when the window is in a horizontal position.

To remove the window it is only necessary to bring it to a horizontal position when the lips 38 and 33 will pass through the loop 36, Fig. 6, formed for that purpose.

It will be noted that in either of the constructions, the window will be tight when closed and there will be no tendency for the sash to rattle, as the spring 20, Fig. 2, and the spring 37, Fig. 5, forcibly press the sash tightly against the window frame in its closed position.

While I have described my invention and illustrated it in several particular designs, I do not wish it understood that I limit my self to these constructions, as the applica-- tion of my invention may be varied in many ways within the scope of the following claims.

Claims:

1. In window and frame construction the combination of a window and a frame, a pair of connecting hinges swinging said window to said frame comprising; a quadrant, a vertical extension at one end of said quadrant, a horizontal extension at the other end of said quadrant, a window member havin two extensions therefrom parallel to the surface of said window, one of said members registering with notches in said quadrant, and the other of said members registering with the joint between said horizontal and said vertical extensions.

2. In window and frame construction the combination of a window and a frame, a pair of connecting hinges swinging said Window to said frame comprising; a quadrant, a vertical extension at one end of said quadrant, a horizontal extension at the other end of said quadrant, a Window member having two extensions therefrom parallel to the surface of said Window, one of said members registering with notches in said quadrant, and the other of said members registering with the joint between said horizontal and said vertical extensions, and a spring for normally pressing said quadrant engaging extension iirmly against said quadrant.

3. In Window and frame constructlon the combination oi a window frame and a Windew, a frame member mounted on the inner vertical portion oi said frame, comprising a vertical strip, a quadrant extending a from the lower end of said vertical strip outwardly and upwardly, a connecting strip between the upper end of said quadrant and the upper end of said vertical strip and extending in a plane parallel to and spaced from said quadrant and said vertical strip, a horizontal lip extending inwardly from the lower edge of said connecting strip, a corner registering lip carried by said window and a quadrant registering lip carried by said Window.
